Poem

Finding myself alone after so many years.
I learned that I was somewhere that I didn't want to be.
I needed to step up and conquer my fears.
If I didn't, I would never be free.

At first, I didn't do much but sit and cry.
Feeling such grief day after day.
I felt so removed from it all, didn't even try.
Knowing that I would never be okay.

Finally, I realized that I had to get something to do,
something, anything, life wouldn't take care of itself.
I wasn't sure how, but I needed to begin anew.
So I put my insecurities up, on a shelf.

Starting out small, not wanting to get in over my head.
I decided to make some home repairs.
Not even knowing what I could do, I went big instead.
I was fixing things all over the house, including 3 flights of stairs.

I started working into the night, a difficult time for me.
I would get totally absorbed in my task, time flew.
Before I knew it the sun was coming up and I looked around to see.
That I had completed the task at hand, and it looked pretty good too.

Now a few years later, I am quite good at what I do.
I take pride in the things that I have done
Doing it has helped me to make it through
So well that I feel that I have won.

A job to be done, I needed to fix something up high.
I brought in the 8 foot ladder, fearless, I can do.
I hadn't realized the skylight was actually in the sky.
I persevered, and completed my task, as I had wanted to.

I have my own toolbox, holding all of my favorite tools.
And I proudly wear my red Ace Hardware tool belt.
I like to think my dad knows that he didn't raise a fool
And that he would smile because of the pride that he felt.
